"The only criterion I use in choosing music for the label is that I respond to it with immediate, visceral enthusiasm. I suppose my tastes lean towards the "experimental," but I also respond to good, personalized and original songwriting that doesn't pander to commerciality or to current fashion. The label is geared toward the kind of listener who wants to hear something original and committed, to listen to the music for a long time to come - outside the assault of media image manipulation."

Michael Gira, Young God Records
